Christmas is in full swing

I decided today we need to slow down and enjoy these days before Christmas. Now I just need to figure out how. I'm swamped at work and will be working late nearly everyday this week except for Thursday bc I refuse to reschedule my hair apt! I also have overextended myself on some activities for both myself and o. Know what all this means? I probably saw my new husband today at lunch for the last time until Friday when I get off work. We may pass in the driveway tmrw as I get home in time for him to leave. Sigh. The silver lining? I have the ENTIRE week of Christmas off. I just have to make it until Friday!

We enjoyed the Christmas parade with friends last week.

O sang in the community christmas program. LPECC students entertained us with 4 songs.

Matt was MIA for the family photo.

Sweetest friends!

We finally visited the jolly fellow himself. She hammed it up for the camera and I was a proud parent!

We attended the juneau's annual tacky sweater party. O partied with miss Hilary at the movies; they saw Frozen. We were woken bright and early Sunday morning so she could tell us all about it. We may have to go again christmas week so I can see it!

Church Sunday was amazing. It was the Christmas story in music. That's it. We seriously considered going to Sunday school and skipping bc I had a ton to do Sunday afternoon but we decided to stay and I'm so glad we did. Aside from hanging of the greens this is my new fav service!

Sunday night we hosted our friend christmas party. 14 adults and 13 kids. In our little house. Good thing we're such close friends; quarters were tight! We love our friends and their kids and were happy to do it. I didn't take the first pic. #slacking.

O has several fun things planned at school this week. I can't wait for her to tell me about them!
